• Comment
  • Enter a name when saving modified settings.
• Car Number
  • Set the car number.
• Car Color
  • Set the color of the car.
• Ride Height (mm)
  • Changing the ride height of the car affects the load movement and amount of roll. The car tends to understeer when the front ride height is set high and the rear ride height is set low, and tends to oversteer when the front ride height is set low and the rear ride height set high.
• Spring
  • Reducing the spring rate leads to gentler changes in movement, but lowers car response.
  • If increased, it tends to do the opposite. If the front springs are set too stiff about the rear springs, the car tends to understeer, and if the rear springs are set too stiff in relation to the front springs, the car tends to oversteer.

Understeer: The car turns through a lesser angle than the steering wheel has been turned.
Oversteer: The car turns through a greater angle than the steering wheel has been turned.

• Stabilizer
  • The value adjusted here is the diameter of the stabilizer. When set to Hard, the stiffness of the stabilizers (roll bars) increases and this has the effect of reducing body roll in the same way as stiffening the springs against body roll would.
  • Raising the stiffness of the stabilizers also increases the load transfer between left and right tires and reduces the car’s grip. The car tends to understeer when the front stabilizer is stiff and the rear is soft, and tends to oversteer when the front stabilizer is soft and the rear is stiff.
• Camber (degrees)
  • The orientation of the tires when the car is viewed from the front. A large negative angle in the front results in oversteer. A large negative angle in the rear results in understeer.
• Toe (mm) (Toe-in)
  • The alignment of the tires and influences front and rear response, stability, and cornering.
  • A negative setting is known as toe-in (the tires are pointing inward). A positive setting is known as toe-out (the tires are facing outward). Toe-in favors understeering and toe-out favors oversteering.
• LSD Lock Rate (%) (rear only)
  • Limits any difference in driveline torque of the left and right driving wheels. The higher the lock rate, the greater the tendency to understeer.
• Wing (degrees) (rear only)
  • Downforce and drag change according to the angle of attack selected.

Courses

• The courses that appear in this game have been carefully modeled after actual circuits. An introduction of the courses follows.
• The course layouts and data used in this game were correct at the time of production. Circuits that have since undergone modifications may appear different from those shown in the game.

Motegi

Total Length: 2414 meters (1.5 miles)
Maximum Bank Angle: 10 degrees

The very straightforward layout of this course allows for extremely high-speed races. However, the course is more involved than it appears at first glance, particularly in the third corner, where racers must be careful to sufficiently reduce their speed or they will hit the wall.

Suzuka Short

Total Length: 2243 meters (1.39 miles)

Don’t write this course off just because it is a short version of the Suzuka course. The section from the reverse bank to the entrance of the final corner is particularly difficult. Player must be aware of how they approach the final corner that can significantly effect their lap time. This course naturally makes an ideal practice course for the longer Suzuka.

Monza

Total Length: 5770 meters (3.59 miles)

Unlike other courses, there are plenty of areas in the Monza where the player can open up the throttle all the way. Aside from the S curve and the two chicanes, this course is mostly straight with gentle curves, but since there are many areas thatare approached at high speeds, the smallest mistake may result in a large time loss.

Sugo

Total Length: 3704 meters (2.3 miles)
Maximum Height Differential: 70 meters

Although it has a maximum height differential of 70 meters, the Sugo is comparatively easy if the players run the course keeping its gradient in mind. The most critical area is the final corner, which can be taken at a steady speed if it is entered head-on.

Suzuka

Total Length: 5864 meters (3.64 miles)

Above all else, this course is characterized in its long lap length and few spots where opponents can be overtaken. Its basic layout is a figure 8, and it is an extremely technical course that includes various types of corners. Its most important point is the 130R, where racers should stay calm and try to keep stalls to a minimum.

Long Beach

Total Length: 2558 meters (1.59 miles)

• This course is a masterful blend of straight-aways and high-speed sections, 90-degree corners and tight hairpins.
• It is critical that the player get a feel for the braking points of the right-angle corners that follow after the long back straights.

Atlanta

Total Length: 2478 meters (1.54 miles)

This track is a 1.5 mile oval in the US south. It is important that the player take advantage of the banks, which are a maximum of 24 degrees, in order to run the course without killing their speed. If the player enter the turns too fast they will understeer and quickly fall prey to the concrete wall.

Niirburgring

Total Length: 4556 meters (2.83 miles)

• The foremost technical German racing circuit, it is adopted for grand prix races.
• Be careful of the S-shaped and hairpin corners right after the start.
• The Veedol chicane should be taken on the simpler S curves side.

Laguna Seca

Total Length: 3602 meters (2.24 miles)

This US circuit is famous for its steep gradient corner known as the “corkscrew.” The difference in height at this corner can be likened to that of a roller coaster. That being said, the course can be mastered relatively easily if it is run keeping the height differences in mind. The most critical section is definitely the corkscrew.

Sepang

Total Length: 5542 meters (3.44)

This brand new international circuit in Malaysia is known for its wide track. However there is number of complex corners makes this course extremely tricky to run. Quickly set up and accelerate on the two straight-aways to improve the lap time on this track.

Fiorano
